It seems that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West can count on Beyonce and Jay-Z not attending any other major celebration that they have. OK! Magazine reported on Thursday, July 3, that Bey and Jay are cutting all ties with Kim and Kanye. The reason why? Bey never liked Kim in the first place and she and her husband believe that being constantly associated with Kim and Kanye is damaging their reputation as a power couple.

According to a source, the "On the Run" couple have stopped all contact with their former friends. The source revealed that Bey and Kim were actually never friendly. In fact, Bey sat next to Kim during their guys' tour only because she was forced to and so "put up with it through gritted teeth."

The lack of a friendship can't be blamed on Kim and Kanye, since they're the ones who have spent more time in New York City, where they have an apartment only two blocks away from Bey and Jay's home, in hopes of their daughter North bonding with Blue Ivy. It's Bey and Jay who are not making any effort, with the reason being that they are tired of being linked to the Kardashian brand. The source said that Bey and Jay believe "they’ve been dragged through the mud with all the drama surrounding their absence at the Kimye wedding."

The problem isn't so much with Kanye as it is Kim. The source also revealed that Jay told Kanye that he doesn't approve of the choices he has made in is personal life and that it'll end up destroying his music career. So it seems that if Kim was out of the picture, Kanye would be back to being buddies with Bey and Jay again.

If Beyonce really just can't stand Kim, she's doing her best to hide it. When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got married in Italy, Beyonce, who had decided to go to the Hamptons with Jay-Z and Blue Ivy instead, posted a photo taken from the couple's "Vogue" shoot. "Wishing you a lifetime of unconditional love. God bless your beautiful family," she wrote.
